Welcome, Spring!

Spring is finally here! I am so excited for warm weather that I wanted to personally let Spring know it was welcome at my house by placing an invitational wreath for it on my front door.

I looked at spring floral wreaths at some stores and was shocked about the pricing. The Christmas Tree Shop – a discount store – had a basic yellow floral wreath for $40. Forty Dollars! For some artificial flowers and twigs?? I knew I could make one a lot cheeper, and so I did! The supplies cost $20 at A.C. Moore with a coupon for 50% off one item that was used on one of the flowers.

Making this wreath took about 15 minutes. I started by weaving tulle around the wreath so that I would have something to help keep the flowers in place. I didn’t want to use a glue gun for this project (mostly because I couldn’t find it) and between the tulle and the loosely intwined sticks of the wreath, I was able to weave the flower stems through enough open spaces to make them stick. I have had a few fall off but for the most part, it has held together pretty well.

How are you welcoming spring to your house?

I didn’t want the wreath to be symmetrical with an even number of white and purple flowers on each side. Instead, I wanted it to look more like it was a few different plants growing in nature.
